COrsages.

The shape of corsages is as varied as
that of bonnets. They are made plain
with short basques for wool dresses,
sharp-pointed or rounded in front for
afternoon toilettes, and open, diagonal,
or straight, with plastrons or vests, fol
evening wear. For the first that is,
wooden dresses-the sleeves are plain,
almost tight, with fiat trimmings; for
afternoon toilettes, if made of plant
stuff, the sleeves are half-loose with
cuffs, or else close-ftting, with Henry
III. puffs just above the elbow; foi
evening dresses the elbow sleeves may
be either loose or narrow. With low
corsagss no sleeves at all are worn-at
most narrow putting or drapery which
bears the slightest possible resemblance
to sleeve.

who enters the house after q given

A MAINE sailor played mean trick
on a shark one day not long ago: The
tiger of the sea had been following the
boat for several days and existing on
the garbage thrown overheard, and the
sailor decided to have some fun with
him. He took a large piece of lime
and threw it at the fish, which greedily
gulped it down. The lime at once be-
gan to Stake, and the shark, after
thrashing about in terrible agony for a
few minutes, turned over and died.

Anecdotes of Lincoln.

A lady in Chicago, a lifelong friend of
the Lincoln family, kindly permits me to
use the following: CATER Mr.. Lincoln's
election, and before his Inauguration, he
was so beset by office-seekers and inter
viewers that he had no leisure to form
his cabinet. He came for 8 little time
to Chicago, hoping for quiet interview
with Mr.. Halnlin. with whom he had no
acquaintance. But, alas! the politicians
were equally ubiquitous here.
"To escape these, Mr.. and Mrs. Lin
coin were invited to my fathers house to
spend the day. Among those whom Mr..
Lincoln wished to consult were Judge
Trumbull and Carl Schurz, who were:
therefore, invited to be at our house al
the same time. Although the weather
was very cold and the drive long one
many came to call on Mr. Lincoln. In
despair he was finally obliged to take
refuge with Mr.. Hamlin ia my large,
sunny room, where, for several
hours they were closeted, while my

The affection which existed between
Gen. and Mrs. Logan has been COM
mented upon as one of the happy features
of the dead hero's life, and the public es-

nervously over it.
"Yes, it is true that there was an ex-

| Boom,
For some reason the officers relapsed
into an embarrassed silence. The major

Notifications on map of Georgia. The
captain looked moodily at the floor. The
general pulled Jomini's Art of War
out of his pocket and then thrust it back
again.
"Oh, mercy!" exclaimed the young

"It was her bOy-her only son. The

Her Hospitality.

These mountaineers are the most hos
pitable people on earth. 1t is a rude but
genuine hospitality. They would share
their last loaf with-a stranger within their
gates. The latch-string hangs out for ALL"
We were riding down a steep Rocky
Mountain trail, my friend Clate and /,
when Clate made the remark quoted. He was
an enthusiast over the noble traits of the
honest miner and mountaineer Certain
experiences of my own had made me skep-
teal on the subject.
AT the base of the mountain stood little
log cabin.
Now" said Clate, "Tll prove my
theory. It's past dinner time, and we're
both hungry as wolves. FL wager anything
you like that we'll get a good square meal
at that cabin free of charge"
Five minutes later we stood before the
closed door of the cabin.
Hellol" roared Clate.
There was no reply.
Hello, say!"
This time Clate raped loudly on the
door. There being no response he lifted
the latch, when the door swung open,
showing no one within, although the cabin
was evidently being occupied.
Alright" cried Clate, cheerily. Come
on in, Ned, and We'll forage round and see
what we can find in the commissary. The
folks won't care. They've left the door
open on purpose for wayfarers like US to
step in and help themselves. It's just like
them. It's your Westerner who knows
what true hospitality isl
Clate foraged around for some time,
but all he could find was piece of dry salt
pork and a few potatoes.
We'll help ourselves to what there is"
said Clate, cheerily. You build fire.
Ned. We're welcome to what we've found.
I'll bet on that, for"
He stopped. A tall, lank. grim visaged
woman, with leathern-looking face. sud
